Batmanhattan?

Well technically Batman lives in Wayne mannor which is outside Gotham City (I think).

Gotham is a nickname: http://hotword.dictionary.com/big-apple-gotham/

Also I thought the dark knight was set in New York but had extra bits (such as "wayne towers" and the monorail thing)

So strictly it's not a mythical place... we wouldn't want the police to arrest us for not giving a proper code name to XBMC

I am already annoyed about the "Frodo" thing. And if the next one is named "Gandalf" I'll stop using XBMC



I'll buy a VHS player

Xbmc release names
Atlantis
Babylon
Camelot
Dharma
Eden
Frodo

Why not Gondor as the next release?

Since the releases are alphabetical, and XBMC 12 will be named Frodo, and a lot of people are mentioning Gandalf or Gollum or Gondor for version 13.0, here are some suggestions for the releases after that:

XBMC 14 Hobbit
XBMC 15 Isildur
XBMC 16 J.R.R.
XBMC 17 Khazad-dum
XBMC 18 Legolas
XBMC 19 Minas Tirith
XBMC 20 Nazgul
XBMC 21 Osgiliath
XBMC 22 Pippin
XBMC 23 Quenya
XBMC 24 Rohan
XBMC 25 Sauron
XBMC 26 Theoden
XBMC 27 Umbar
XBMC 28 Valmar
XBMC 29 Wormtongue
XBMC 30 X-pect will have forgotten all about LOTR by now
XBMC 31 Yavanna
XBMC 32 Zamin

Come on guys, I know we all liked the movies/books, but please, enough with the Lord of the Rings references!

It should be noted that v12's code name, Frodo, is in honor of one of the founding devs of XBMC, not the hobbit.

Ahh, here I was thinking that "Frodo" was sticking out ("Which one of these is not like the others?").

Thanx to everyone for all your suggestion!

We've had a team meeting last night and, amongst others, we decided on the new codename for XBMC 13.0

It wasn't an easy decision as so many good and fitting names have been brought up.
The general team feeling was, our new name should reflect the direction XBMC is heading in the years to come.


Since one of our main focusses will be 'WAF' (Wife Acceptance Factor), the team almost unanimously voted for:

We feel we have neglected this part of XBMC far to long and hope we can give something back to the ones
who've felt ignored for all this time, by dedicating the codename to them.


To top it all off, here is a very early developers preview of XBMC Girls v13.0:
